Basic Bisector Problem That Makes Me Crazy

[Ozanemreist]

Hello, this is my first post in this forum. I am just so puzzled with this problem and I can find any solution or formula anywhere. It is supposed to be very easy, most probably I am missing something and I am hoping that you can help me out how to solve this. We are supposed to find the A bisector. Thanks in advance!

Well, there's your problem, right there. What's an "A Bisector"?

Bisector of Angle A? Something else? Why not construct it?

Do you have the EXACT wording of the problem statement and an excellent example of your best work?

Sorry about that. Yes, it asks for the angle. All the information given is right here on the triangle and also the problem is in Turkish, I doubt its of use to you but I am attaching it anyway along with my attempts solving it.

The original text (in bold) seems to ask for the measure of angle BAC in degrees. Where are you reading bisector?

The Turkish word for angle bisector is açıortay.

Well yes, it asks for angle. I need to improve my English since I can confuse bisector and angle easily. But before that, I need to know how to solve this!!!! Its haunting me!!!!
